Baseball: Seattle Mariners vs New York Mets

While our coach was at home, we spent a couple of nights in a hotel in Seattle (across the road from the ballpark), to attend a couple of Seattle Mariners games vs the New York Mets, at the Mariners’ ballpark, T-Mobile Field (which I’ll always think of Safeco Field).

The first game was an evening one.

We went in early via the bullpen gate, and grabbed some nachos from Edgar’s Cantina:

As soon as most people left, flocks of seagulls swooped in to scavage the waste food:
